Daylight Saving Tuesday night rides until 31 March 2010

[Laxi]

cant wait to go for a ride... wooohoooooo yeeeee haaaaaaa....

it's kinda confusing how a lot of people say that!!! cant you ride your bike any other time??? :laugh:

[Toaster]

....Must....resist......urge.......to.......speak. ....my.....dirty......mind........

No please do. My size 13 boot needs a polish!

[turtleman]

Think I'll join in again tonight :scooter:

Looking forward to it :Punk:

[Toaster]

Wednesday and Thursday for you then matey, although no one held up the KTM last week, seemed to be only 4 250's out of the whole pack of 12!!!
Tuesdays a 'slow mentoring' ride, intended for a quite toodle and where experienced riders can mentor newbies etc

Wednesday is a medium (own pace) ride for all levels.
Thursday is for the brave and radar detector touting lunatic set :lol:

:)

Yeah that was the most diverse group we have had yet. First week had more L platers, which seems all but extinct now. I guess we could call them Learnersaurus.

Tuesday is a very slow pace, but not a mentor ride and no mentors attend. It'sjust a facility for slower/newer riders to come out of the closet and have a go with other bikers prepared to keep the pace down to a non-pants-filling pace.

I try to go to all three rides each week, gets faster as the week progresses which is great fun. I just love Thursday and the resulting weekend rides!

Nothing wrong with being nuts. Nuts are good for us.

Hopefully we will see you on a ride when work doesn't call you away mate!

[Toaster]

Sweet see you there mate. Did you ask your parole officer?

[Toaster]

Nice little ride tonight.... extremely leisurely pace indeed. Good to see novices getting out there and having a go at group rides.

Two ride on Wednesday night to choose from....

and then there's Thursday!

[Gone Burger]

A nice ride once again. Shouldn't have had that garlic bread though... I think my helmet wiltered on the way home :) - Sorry we lost you there Mr & Mrs Turtleman. Hope you made it home safe and sound

Made it home ok.... got left behind a bit as we had to stop at the pedestrian crossing before Days Bay, but caught up and were right behind you at the lights at Avalon turning onto SH2 (we were 2 cars back from you guys - know it was you , I could smell the garlic :bleh:)

Cath is still a bit nervous at 100 on the motorway though - not of the 100k, but of getting caught, so stuck to about 85 - 90k - so we lost you all again ! :bye:

[Eyegasm]

No please do. My size 13 boot needs a polish!

And you probably know how to polish a boot real good too..... Reflection and all that.
I'll bring mine around for you to polish, cheers mate.

As for the ride last night, it was quite cruisy, even contemplated over taking the Busa!!
HHAAHAHA that would've looked hilarious!

Left you all at BP in Wainui so didn't come over to Eastbourne, but was good none the less

[girlzchris]

nice to seee everyone there and katie thanks for taking me to the duck pond without duck and water... not like what toaster described :pinch:
like to ride in a group..

[BuckBuck#1]

A very enjoyable evening ride last night - ride report link at bottom here.

Next Wednesday will be the penultimate Tuesday Ride. The programmed ride takes us from the Duckpond over the Haywards down SH1 to Johnsonville and then out to Makara. My thoughts are to take the ride only as far as Makara Beach and then return to the Inn at Johnsonville, that we have been to previously.

As briefly mentioned last night there may be ‘An End Of Daylight Saving Sunday Ride on 28th March' and this can be finalised next Tuesday evening. I will put up a few suggestions in this Tuesday forum thread shortly.

Finally, Tueday 30th March, this will be a short 30 minute ride to a ‘food destination - particularly for those who enjoy garlic aroma in their helmet’ and an opportunity to talk about the rides program just completed and generally to look ahead through winter and whatever weekend rides you may want to arrange between yourselves – and by all means use the KB Calendar and Forums.

Nice little ride tonight.... extremely leisurely pace indeed.

and then there's Thursday!

It was nice to follow the pace for the 20 mins or so, but have a long way to go home, so had to bypass the social side. At least i now know where the duckpond is.

[StoneY]

LOL...the carpark is 25 feet from both pond and duck's, where did Katie take you then?

[325rocket]

nice crusie ride, thanks for letting me tag along

[girlzchris]

LOL...the carpark is 25 feet from both pond and duck's, where did Katie take you then?

katie took me to the right place. it just that no duck in the pond and no water tooo... according to toaster on page 16, he said "The pond is this big wet looking thing with ducks on it".

:Oops:

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Enjoyable ride and a good turnout.

Iridium visor waaay better (but not brilliant) for riding at night.

See you all next week.

[Ratti]

NIce to have an extra woman riding. WE almost outnumbered the chaps...almost.
It was pretty heavy on the garlic that's for sure Katiepie. whew! NO vampires out your way.

I didn't even bother to start the engine.....

I didn't even bother to start the engine.....

Yeah yeah, whatever you say mate!!!
Although, when you did turn the engine on you blitzed down the road, thought you might have coughed or
something and "accidentally" twisted the throttle. Wish the lil ol'250 had that kind of pick up from 80k....

And the chap with the CBR600, What a sweet sound it was when you left!

Hate to see it leave, love to hear it go...

Wouldn't it be easier to just piss on each others wheels to mark your territory?

[Eyegasm]

Stoney, I have had the experience of your noise maker.

To compare your exhaust to the CBR

KTM: Sounds like someone screaming atrocities through a megaphone
CBR: If it was coffee, no sugar would be required. It sounded sweet enough!

That's a neat wee loop. Might join you for that one if the weather is fine. On the Scorpio of course, it would be way to tempting to open it up a little on the Daytona.

[rjg]

Looks like I'm going to miss the ride yet again this coming week. Hopefully I'll make it to the following one.

Keep having fun out there

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Just been out along makara today.

Previous slip (on blind corner) has been cleared up now. Looks like there was a bigger slip since the last time, but it was on a straight and has mainly been cleared.

Weather forecast for tomorrow looks okay so far.

[BuckBuck#1]

This evening, 23rd March is the final programmed Tuesday ride for the Daylight Saving Season.

Next Tuesday, 30th March will be a 'meal destination' ride, with Wednesday evening being the backup in the event of bad weather on the Tuesday.

(Details of the ride this weekend 27 or 28th March will be raised this evening.)

[magicmonkey]

well, the weather looks pretty decent so I'll be trying to make it ...

[Ratti]

bring a map..or follow me. We can get lost together then!

heh, I'll actually know the ride this time rather than bumbling around in the dark, you can follow me for a change ;)

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

For anyone new or just anyone who doesn't want to head from wellington to the hutt on their own - I will be refilling at caltex on the old hut road (on the way out of wellington) and then starting off from threre at about 5:30pm.

Meet me there if you want to join me going to the duck pond (Black bike with two round headlights).

Cheers

[Gone Burger]

Its looking just lovely out there today, pleased that the forcast ending up being wrong last night. Looking forward to tonights ride. See you all at the pond.

[girlzchris]

yeah lovely day today... i know how to go to the duck pond now.. so will see everyone at the pond....

[325rocket]

Is there a plan of where you guys are going? I am working late but might catch you up somewhere.

[Neshi]

same here. I am finished at 6.30 at Uni. Maybe even a little sooner and I'll try to catch up asap.

[ecko_nzed]

would be keen to tag along, what is the route for tonite buck buck?

You said it all perfectly. What a fun night tonight, thanks again everyone. And good stuff Buck Buck!

Had an AWESOME ride home and just wanted to keep on going. Think it will take me ages to go to sleep now, I'm buzzing.

[BuckBuck#1]

Glad you all enjoyed the ride tonight. I sent Toaster a text around 8pm so I expect you all know now that the Kawasaki Green Machine has moved on to greener pastures. A novice rider from Wellington is riding home on what I can truly say is an excellent bike for the young and old, newbies, returning to riding riders, and those that, like me down-sized from the 900cc for the summer.

Will see you next Tuesday evening at the duckpond and yep in the cage, will join you for the end of daylight saving meal stop.

All the best with your Sth Island acquisition.

Well goodness knows what way you all went tonite, but I didn't end up catching up with you. Went for a wee pottle to scrub in my new tyres anyways, DAMN that J'ville - Makara rd is bumpy

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

We did end up going to makara, down to the beach and then carried on upto karaori. Continued onto the speights ale house in thorndon for bites and a drink afterwards.

Yeah, jville/makara road can be bumpy, I found the haywards road far bumpier though - makes me want to upgrade my rear shock soon.

Congrats on selling the bike Guy.

[Ratti]

I've noted we all seem to be willing to pack it in for the winter. Is there a reason for this? I fail to see any reason, apart from occasional bursts of violent winds, why we could not just carry on over the winter months. Perhaps shorter rides to a cafe/bar or similar wateringhole would be in order?
Although after being outnumbered by outlanders last night, I do think the Kiwis could put on a better showing!

Given that we are a pretty scattered bunch, can we take it in turns each week to nominate an ending spot in the area we live? A spot in town one week followed by a spot in the Hutt followed by a spot in Porirua. You with me? So since we ended up in Tinakori road last night, perhaps we could find somewhere in Porirua next week? Then somewhere in the HUtt the following week.
This way, as long as we stick to the plan, then folk who can't find us on the road will at least know where we are heading for and can join us at that point.

I'd be up for that, probably not every week but I'm sure I'll turn up for quite a few as I'm enjoying these rides so far :)

[Gone Burger]

Might do a few but wouldn't be able to commit to anything. If I have the choice, I prefer to ride with a bit of light (especially for my route home, and especially during the colder months. Not going to risk hitting black ice on a tight bend in the pitch black).

Might be a good idea, but good weather seems to be much more fun to ride in than the winter weather I have experienced here in Wellington these last few years. But hey, sure I would be up for it on a good night, having not had as many rides through the weeks.

I think the main reason that the rides were planned to end around now as the organiser (buck buck) expected to sell his bike by now - which he predicted very well.

Perosnally, not too keen on after work rides over the winter months due to the early darkness (you'd just be concentrating on the red light in front of you for most of the ride).

But, if the Tuesday night rides did continue past daylight savings it'll need a new organiser (can't expect buck buck to organise them now he's a cager, lol).

That said, I am always up for a ride over the rimutakas over the weekend. I just don't usually have people to go with, so tend to go up paekok as a quick blat instead. Plus, meeting on a weekend day would mean that you have the light, and you can predict the weather a few days out.

Anyone up for any weekend rides over the takas just let me know.

Enjoy your rides on the weekends through winter, I recall when the snow and ice were up on the Rimutaka Hill, the roads never opened until after 11am, particularly around end July/August.

See you all next Tuesday evening, in the meantime here is the recent entry to my blogg.

Congrats on the sale Buck.

Sadly I had to miss the last few rides which was a real bugger.

Thank you for your organisation of these rides. It was and has been a real pleasure to have meet and rid with you. Hopefully our paths will cross once again in the future on 2 wheels.

Take it easy and enjoy the golf.

Jarrod.

A few things:

Firstly, it has been great to come along and meet you all.

Great to get out and do a few roads with newer riders and help encourage social and active regular participation. It was a good environment for practice for all involved.

Lastly, you are all soft. Fancy not riding in the dark when it gets cold and windy! My bike is currently sitting outside in the driving rain getting a post-makara beach salt wash off.

But seriously, hope to see you all out and about at other social rides when they are organised. Ride safe. Have fun.

Yeah but my bike is naked so it feels the cold more. I'm fine - it's just my ride that I'm worried about.

All joking aside, a big thankyou to Buck Buck for taking all the time and effort to arrange the rides.

[Ratti]

dude...my bike is naked too, but maybe being older has survivied so many winters he really doesnt feel the cold any more?

I gave up on them cause I havn't seen a ride posted in ages :no:


I've noted we all seem to be willing to pack it in for the winter. Is there a reason for this?

as with the established wednesday night ride, at the end of daylight savings there will be a few hardy souls willing to carry on, but they soon disapear as the weather gets colder, summer 08-09 I went on a lot of group rides, the end of daylight savings was when I learnt if you want to carry on riding, either get used to riding alone or find 1 or 2 friends willing to HTFU too

[Gone Burger]

O.K I'll be the firs to admit - IM SOFT. There, its been said. No excuses anymore, I am soft and need to harden up for the winter. I think a new bike might be just the answer - I reckon I should treat myself, then I'll be much tougher. (Don't hold me to that)

[Ratti]

hmm, ok so I foresee a lot of riding alone going on. o well, such is life. No doubt I wil pack it in on nasty days as well. Use the time to fix my seat and sort out the shocks. Biggest problem is that I have time during weekdays and hardly anyone else does. Have found a couple of hardy souls in the BFTP group who can dodge work during the week so that might be it for me over winter.

You're not soft Katie. Sensible is all, Im getting carried away is all, Ignore me and I'll go away until summer.

[325rocket]

if these are anything like the weds night ride, a few hard core riders will turn up for a few weeks then its pretty much all over.
anyway, the sunday morning rides will start up so there will still be rides on.

[Eyegasm]

The Doc just refilled my prescription of Concrete pills.

Got a bit heavy in the old pocket... So I downed them in one go.

Yip. That is how hard I am!!

I do not have a choice of ride or not to ride. Bike is my only form of transportation.
Only cos I don't consider Wellingtons Public Transport as transportation.

More like torture.

P.S. Doc says you need to get Concrete Pills so you can HTFU.

[Toaster]

a big thankyou to Buck Buck for taking all the time and effort to arrange the rides.

And points off for selling his bike and passing the "buckbuck" to me!

[Toaster]

I am always up for rides on Saturdays or Sunday afternoon.

Stuff those early morning jobbies! Happy to organise rides when people are actually up!

[sinfull]

Stuff those early morning jobbies! Happy to organise rides when people are actually up! Did you really just do that or was it the pron ?

I will be keen for a ride on any nice weekend of the year.
All going well I should be able to attend next weeks final ride before heading off for a ride down the Mainland the next day.
Guy, cheers for organising these rides, and although it's a shame you're no longer riding, congrats on selling the bike. I hope you miss it.

See you all on Tuesday (I hope)

OK, just posted up a proposed ridge run for around 11am this saturday (27th March).

Anyone interested?

Posted it on the ridge runners group :

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/group.php?do=discuss&discussionid=1481

Seems pretty quiet in that group so I though I'd post it on here as well.

Anyone up for a ride over the takas this saturday then? Around 11am?

Can meet at the duckpond if anyone wants to go.

[Eyegasm]

All things going to plan I should be there (Tues), Getting new tyres fitted on Monday so should be good.

Cam, Always keen for a ride, damn work keeps getting in the way though... So weekends will be sweet!

Bugger can't make it on saturday either. Got a paid gig in the p.m and it takes hours to get dressed, makeup on and loaded with jewelry. another time I'd be keen

Tuesdays – March 2010


30th The final ride of the daylight saving season - a 30 minute ride to a 'food destination'. Ah Hum someone will be arriving in a cage. :scooter::yes::scooter::yes:



Over the Wainui Hill circle the first roundabout then back over the hill and around to Eastbourne, or

Over Haywards along Greys Rd and to Monteiths Bar at Mana,

Or, the local fish and chip shop and over to Rattis.

See you all tomorrow evening.

Happy to oblige as a destination, BYO alcoholic refreshments, I have reall coffee and various teas for anyone who imbibes such.
I also have heaps of offroad parking on level concrete for up to about 30 bikes, if they dont mind snuggling up a bit.

If the consensus is to come here, then I'd like to suggest a circuit ride over Haywards, through the off motorway roads as far south as we can get , down the Gorge then back up the Hutt side to my house. The route we went with Toaster last week was really interesting, I'd be keen to explore that road a little further...with map and someone who knows where we are heading and how to get there.

We could pre order fish and chips from the local award winning Chippie before we leave and pick them up at a pre arranged time.
